These are, at least by my own standards, the absolute easiest languages to start off with, but don’t offer the same possibilities as a powerful server-side language. Now, to grow its education footprint, Codecademy is today launching Python courses to the public. According to co-founder Zach Sims, Python was the most requested language from the community, and the tech behind implementing it has undergone testing since the January launch of Codecademy Labs. The startup found that running Python and Ruby client-side led to endless problems, so it developed a way to run the code server-side, which supposedly has made expanding into additional languages, such as Ruby or perhaps PHP, much easier.
